Flight data recorder from doomed EgyptAir plane recoveredCHRISTIAN HARTMANN/REUTERS Investigators say they have recovered the flight recorder from an EgyptAir plane that crashed last month. A second flight recorder has been retrieved from the crashed EgyptAir flight MS804, containing data from aircraft systems which could shed light on what brought the plane down last month, Egyptian investigators said on Friday (Saturday NZ Time). In March, an EgyptAir plane was hijacked by a man wearing a fake suicide belt. A Russian plane crashed in the Sinai Peninsula last October, killing all 224 people on board in an attack claimed by Islamic State. Egyptian investigators had received the two flight recorders and would analyse the information over weeks, the Ministry of Civil Aviation said.
